Core Viewpoint - The article discusses the challenges faced by feed companies, particularly in managing raw material inventory during a period of falling prices due to a bumper harvest cycle, and highlights the strategic use of futures hedging to mitigate risks and enhance profitability [2][10]. Group 1: Industry Challenges - Since the second half of 2023, corn prices have declined significantly due to the bumper harvest of staple crops, leading to a rapid narrowing of basis [2]. - Feed companies, accustomed to stockpiling, are experiencing a dilemma: the value of corn inventory established at high prices has plummeted, while the profits from downstream livestock operations are under pressure, squeezing operational margins [2][11]. - Companies like A Enterprise, which procures nearly 200,000 tons of raw materials annually, are struggling with high production costs from previously locked-in prices, even as downstream profits improve [4][11].

图为中证1000股指期权的波动率曲线 图为中证1000期指走势 我们需要对多方面因素进行综合考虑，选择收益风险与自身预期相匹配的策略。具体来看，需要从期权相关指标如持仓量PCR、隐含波动率，以及对标的资 产的方向判断等多维度来综合考虑。 从期权持仓量PCR来看，持仓量PCR是认沽期权持仓量与认购期权持仓量的比值，能够反映同时期市场上的多空双方情绪对比。一般而言，持仓量PCR与市 场情绪呈正相关关系，这是因为期权卖方一般是比较专业的投资者，卖出认沽期权说明其对后市行情看涨。截至8月15日，中证1000股指期权的持仓量PCR 为99.49%，位于2024年以来的93.3%的分位数水平。虽然持仓量PCR上周五由于到期换月有所回落，但仍处于较高历史分位数水平。这说明当前持不看空观 点的投资者比例处于历史较高水平，换言之，持仓量PCR指标说明目前市场情绪较为积极乐观。 从期权隐含波动率来看，隐含波动率是根据期权价格和期权定价公式反推计算出来的波动率数值。一般而言，我们可以把平值期权的隐含波动率看作整体波 动率水平的参考指标。从隐含波动率的相对高低可以看出投资者对波动率的未来预期，进而选择合适的波动率入场与出场。截至8月 ...
